You read it wrong, Stephen's analysis was quite correct,
(thankyou Stephen). As Stephen said, we pay no attention to
this kind of post on CLA in terms of our sales planning
because we have no way of distinguishing serious potential
customers from hobbyists in this environment. So, let me
say once again, if you are seriously interested in a supported version
of GNAT Professional for a target you
do not see us list, contact our sales office. In some
cases you may be expressing an interest in a target for
which we are already planning a port (there are several
such targets at the moment). In other cases, your interest may be the
straw that tips the scales of decision for us
to start another port. In other cases, sure, it may be that
someone wants a port that so far no one else has pushed
for, and is willing to pay some or all the costs (several
GNAT ports have initially appeared that way). It all depends, and to
understand which if any of these cases
apply, you need to talk to us (and to other Ada vendors
who may have different sets of plans when it comes to 
supported target.
